Why Black Women Are Doing The White Thing

“Frustrated with the ‘shortage’ of ‘good’ black men, black women are expanding their horizons and are dating outside of their race.

“Statistics show that more black women are dating white men worldwide, and black female/white male marriages have increased by fifty per cent.

“Some argue that this increase in relationships between black women and white men may be attributed to educational attainment.

“Some black men will look at you a certain way. They know that you have a lot going on and that they can’t play games. Sometimes it’s harder to attract black guys when you have a lot going for yourself,” says Renea D. Nichols-Nash, author of Coping With Interracial Dating.

“Oscar-winning actress Whoopi Goldberg, who dates white men, found this to be the case. Black men, she says, have a hard time dealing with a black woman with power.
Now, rather than sitting around dreaming about the perfect black man, black women are considering the possibility that ‘Mr. Right’ could be white.
